ABOUT
Welcome to Hulakai – Hawaiian for “Dancing on the Water” – 3124 The Strand, a distinguished architectural masterpiece, nestled between the iconic Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach Piers on the coveted North Hermosa Strand. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Hulakai seamlessly blends soulful modern design and sophistication, with mid-century and island charm. Crafted by esteemed industry professionals, including Fritz Construction, Marmol Radziner Design, Tomaro Architecture, Tim Clarke Designs, and JJ Home MB, Hulakai cultivates a deep connection between mind, body, and Southern California's laid back beach culture.
As you step through the 10-foot solid Mahogany entry pivot door, you're enveloped in a world of sophistication and style. The soaring 25-foot, four-story stair tower, wrapped with hand chiseled natural stone, a floating exposed structural steel spline staircase, and rich walnut, wide plank hardwood flooring, all accentuated with soft Lutron lighting sets the tone for the impeccable craftsmanship that awaits within.
The main level serves as the heartbeat of the home where the open-concept layout seamlessly connects the great room, dining room, kitchen, and study with 10 to 12.6 foot ceilings, offering stunning views of the sandy beach and Pacific Ocean horizon.
Entertain with ease in the great room, where a free-standing stone-clad fireplace, full height board-form concrete wall, mahogany wood ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling disappearing bi-fold door system invite true indoor/outdoor living with fresh coastal breezes. The expansive seating area provides the perfect backdrop to enjoy family, friends, music, sporting events, movies, and the beach all year round from this well-appointed gathering space.
Adjacent and open to the great room, the gourmet kitchen and dining room beckon with Wolfe & Subzero appliances, dual Miele dishwashers, custom walnut cabinetry, separate beverage & wine refrigerators, ice machine, dual kegerators, and kitchen island with bluestone waterfall quartz countertops.
Descend to the speakeasy-style basement level, where multiple luxurious seating areas, game area, media room and fitness/gym await you - complete with a Sinatra-style piano bar, custom-built entertainment center with built-in beverage fridge/ice machine/kegerator, dual wine closets (150 bottles) and billiards table.
For those seeking extra relaxation, the master suite offers a private sanctuary complete with a wrap-around mahogany balcony and sitting area overlooking the ocean, large custom walnut cabinetry filled master closet and a spa-like ensuite bathroom with soaking tub and frameless glass steam shower adorned with mahogany trim, travertine slab and glass tile.
Additional luxuries abound throughout the home, including a Savant Whole House Automation System, Lutron lighting & shades, a nine (9) -zone air conditioning system, whole house radiant floor heating, high-end sound system, sound deadening technology on all bedroom entry doors, and so much more.
In addition to the three guest bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a thoughtfully appointed and spacious studio apartment (or 5th bedroom), with separate private entrance - affectionately named the "Surf Spa" - adds to Hulakai's "out of this world" experience. Here, guests can indulge in the ultimate retreat, featuring two built-in, queen bunk beds, a triple-sized travertine slab steam shower, teak lockers, a well-appointed kitchenette with stainless-steel sink, washer/dryer, and plenty of storage and closet space.
Ascend to the rooftop deck where unobstructed panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, from Malibu to Palos Verdes, await. Take a dip in the spa/jacuzzi, gather around the natural stone clad fireplace and/or fire pit, or cook in the custom outdoor kitchen with built-in Wolf BBQ, Subzero refrigerator, ice machine and stainless-steel sink. With its unparalleled craftsmanship, state-of-the-art amenities, and breathtaking ocean and coastline views, Hulakai represents the pinnacle of luxury beachfront living.
You don't have to fly around the world to find soul replenishing experiences, you can live it every day at Hulakai.
